Your post is despicable! And disgusting! All you are concerned about right now is the color of this guys skin?? How disgusting! The police and FBI have a job to do, and all you think about is being politically correct! Because we don't want to hurt the Saudi's feelings! A Saudi national happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, and we are suppose to worry about what he might think?? While it is true, not all Arabs, Muslims are terrorists, almost all terrorists have proven to be Muslim, and a large percentage do not like the U.S. It just so happens Boston has many.
What happened yesterday is an example of what can happen when we embrace diversity! Boston is full of colleges and universities with tons of Arabs, Muslims, alike. Routinely, diversity is the primary focus of almost all of these colleges. Why is it we have Americans, born here with excellent grades that can't get into these schools all because of their white skin, or because of their gender?
Well, first of all, i'm probably the least politically correct person on this forum. So your claim in that regard gets no traction with me.
Second, this is not about hurting any particular country's feelings. (The forum knows i'm not particularly keen on protecting anyone's feelings!) This is about a lone individual who happen to be nearby the bomb site and was questioned simply because of his Middle Eastern descent. Face it, the white people on the sidewalk were not questioned like this guy was. The white people on the sidewalk didn't have their apartment's searched as well.
Third, from a profile perspective, it is somewhat reasonable to think that a Muslim could in fact be responsible for the bombs. But that, in and of itself, is not cause to automatically identify the "Saudi National" for questioning and a search of his house.
Whatever happened to due diligence and due process?
(And yes, I agree, unchecked diversity can be net negative on society. But this poor guy didn't have to be singled out.)
.....to an over-reactive government who pretends to love immigrants.
It's a shame that being a brown person on a sidewalk near a bomb site is enough to make you a "possible suspect."
Within an hour, they were questioning this guy. Absolutely despicable. How many white people did they question to the extent that this guy was questioned? How many white tenants' apartments were searched like this guys apartment was searched?
This is yet another fail by local, state, and federal governments in their attempt to look like they have a handle on the situation.
I find it to be absolutely despicable that such a "potential suspect"....much less a "Saudi National"...was ever leaked to the media, and it had to come from a government official of some sorts.
His name was never published. He was never in custody. He cooperated with authorities and gave permission to have his apartment searched.
I'm not sure how he was so persecuted?
As for the rest of the questions - do you know if any other people of ANY color that were searched, questioned, etc? No, you don't.
Personally, I think it might be a white guy. First place to look is in the WH - I think Bill Ayers frequents the place. And this attack has Weather Underground written all over it.
I feel sorry for that poor guy. He didn't deserve that but this is what we've turned into.
"What" have we turned into exactly? Was the man ever taken into custody? No. Tortured? No. He cooperated with the police. He was cleared. End of story.

Just because he was cooperative does not justify the attention he received from law enforcement. Do you agree or disagree?
Gosh, I remember the media jumping all over that guy. They had no facts at all other then he was being question. I guess it helps keep their viewers "tuned in".

The Saudi National was NEVER identified. I'm sure lots of people were questioned. He agreed to the search of his home.
You leftwingers are just desperate for it to be a conservative, aren't you. Your faux outrage over the questioning of a witness is disgusting. And your assumption that he was the only one questioned is ignorant.

What, are you making the case that it is incomprehensible that a Saudi national might try to harm this country? I think it's a perfectly logical reaction to assume that it is someone with a middle-eastern background responsible for this disgusting act of terrorism.
We'll find out eventually, but here are some things to keep in mind. From No Quarter - "If they find traces of PETN and RDX then the source was probably SEMTEX. It there is TATP, however, then the attention will turn to a Salafist group with ties to Al Qaeda."

Hmm...let see here, "not a cause" to automatically identify the Saudi National for questioning??? Hmmm....we have 3 people dead and 176 injured, at least 18 severly, from an act of terrorism, and that is not a cause?
